yeah, i doubt my dad could find a fax machine to send in the form this time around
i keep a floppy disk in my classroom (it's Descent for all you classic PC gamers out there) to show students why the save icon looks the way it doesThe fact that you even know what a fax machine is means you’re old enough to be here by today’s standards. 13 year olds today have never heard of a BlackBerry.

in previous years, when our units were set up chronologically, we were typically lucky if we could make it to the reagan era. vietnam was generally the last thing that got covered in-depth, with some lip service paid towards watergate, the oil crisis, and the hostage crisis if we had the time. however, last year, the curriculum changed from chronological to thematic. we have a unit for politics specifically, one for migration and movement, one for culture, one for domestic conflict, and we're currently wrapping up the foreign conflict unit.I don’t feel old. Mentally. I swear. What range do you cover in your history class? I refuse to accept that the 80’s and 90’s are a part of it.

it was a hard adjustment at first but i've grown to really appreciate the new format since it allows for us to kind of hop around in time. here are some of the topics we cover that are going to make you feel very old:
- in terms of 80s culture the challenger explosion is the biggest things these students have zero context for.
- early 90s domestic terrorism. ruby ridge, okc bombing, atl olympics bombing, unabomber, you name it.
- 90s culture, too, primarily the birth of reality television--in other words, the OJ Simpson police chase and trial. we cover that in context with the Rodney King beating and the subsequent acquittal/riots since both involve the LAPD
- the advent of the internet, of course, and even a little bit of talk about the dot-com bubble and y2k
- 9/11 is what i probably get the most questions about, and we cover that in context with the persian gulf war and operation desert storm. i mention the PATRIOT act as well
- i also always have to tell my kids about when bush 41 hurled on the japanese prime minister
- and all the beautiful bush 43 moments. childrens do learn. now watch me hit this drive. and the shoeing of course
- also bush-related, most of my students were born after hurricane katrina, so that's part of the curriculum too. that's right, even the 00s are part of history now. i'm sorry to be the one to tell you this
Same. It never gets used. Because who the fuck still uses Fax Machines?I have a fax machine at work
The Japanese.Same. It never gets used. Because who the fuck still uses Fax Machines?
Legally, it is one of the few ways to send a prescription. Email, for example, is not validSame. It never gets used. Because who the fuck still uses Fax Machines?
yup. i tell my kiddos all the time that i don't want to teach them WHAT to think but HOW to think. and whenever any of them ask "was [so-and-so politician/president] good or bad" i look at them like they're crazy and say they need to make that decision for themselves and not have someone tell it to them.History was always my favorite subject in school, it’s nice to see that with all the shit going on in the world that some teachers are still doing the right thing by making sure generations after us know their history so it doesn’t repeat itself.

I'd like to inform the court, that Ants! is the sitting judge on this case.
As cool as real stenographs and stenographers are, I'm not sure if my brain could handle all that.Are you the new stenographer?
As someone who works with Japanese customers quite often, this tracks.The Japanese.

Maybe after months of practice, but still naw.
I want to say other than the assload of research and dollars you have to spend to become a successful lawyer or judge, the stenographers are up there as ones with the hardest jobs out there. Unless your brain just clicks with that. I imagine Then it's no problem.I could never figure out how they were able to keep up with all the details in the courtroom in real-time. That’s an impressive skill set.

It's insane how fast you can type with one. I'm casually typing at around 70 wpm without trying hard, but those suckers start around 200 mark. Like what the hell.

The 3 shells.Guys quick I gotta poop where did we land on this
Normally I just blast my o-ring with a hose but they done turnt off the waterAlso, you haven't pooped in 10 days? Might want to get that checked out, buddy. That stuff gets toxic after 3.
Just use your hand Asian-style.
Hold it

Please don't wipe your butt with a knife
Friendly reminder that if you sit on a public toilet seat and the seat is still warm, someone just dropped a fat deuce in that pool. The true bench warmer.
I try to avoid public washrooms for that very reason. That, and they tend to be dirty, plus the amount of people I've seen walk out of the bathroom without washing their hands is shocking.My ass will never touch a public toilet seat. That’s how you get herpacyphilAIDs around here.
Bangs Toilet Seat
A verdict has been reached.
Any person who wipes standing up is a heathen who did not clean theirassessmentass properly and is likely to walk around smelling like actual shit.
Wiping sitting down is required. How ever you lean is irrelevant as long as at least one cheek rests on the seat.
You have been Judged.

Followed by a ghost wipe.those are always the best ones
